PICK UP THE loving ARMOR.

Please add this to the "tips" section for every single operator. I am so god drat sick of people just walking right by my perfectly good armor!!!! gently caress

Maybe if you'd dropped it at the beginning of the round, rather than after putting up both reinforcements and going afk to have a tea.

Play Caveira and just do constant silent step laps around the map until you know where everybody is.

No doubt my favorite operator right now, silent step is game breaking

The fewer people who play her the better (because it means she's easier for me to select)

The problem is lots of people like to play her because she has probably the best defensive skill if you can manage to get it off

I'm not sure about that; I've managed ~100 interrogations according to my stats page, and I can count on one hand the number of times that it was game-changing.

Her pistol though, hot diggity drat. Love that thing.

E: I'd love for them to tweak silent step so that it's 100% silent on all surfaces, but makes a bunch of regular-volume noise when you walk over debris on the floor.

I love team killing those people. I rarely solo queue and always have at least 2-3 friends with me. People get real upset when you TK them, and explain why when they ask. Then they get killed by the rest of the team so we don't have to worry about bans.

You can disable text chat. All games have toxic players.

Not all games are built around team communication though, and on top of that, you can't very well disable microphones either.

Tell you what, if you half rear end me a little paint collage of his hateful texts in one cool .png i'll send it directly to whoever handles the guillotine.


Also, as a general FYI, they usually log the whole match when investigating issues like this so if for some reason you also replied with similar poo poo during said match, chances are you'll get the boot too. I guess if there was a lesson to give here it would be: Let them talk.

That's fair. If replying with 'bash the fash' gets me banned, so be it.

e: I should say that I already took time out of my day to report the lot of them through the official support channel. It just drives me mad that there's not a more visible punishment. Like I get that you guys can't comment on each individual case, but it would be great if there was some sort of running "players reported, players punished" tally somewhere so that we all know we're not just shouting into the void.

One fast and one armoured operator from each side would be good, so you get a feel for how the game is played at both speeds -

Rook & Jager and Ash & Fuze would be good choices

Hey guys, a friend bought this for me during the free weekend and I've played a bit of it since. We have about 14 hours under our belts but we still get our asses kicked like every single match. It's loads of fun but I'm wondering how to get better at this? My greatest problem seems to be that as defenders, I never know which walls to reinforce or where to put traps or anything. Do you just wing it, or is there a rule of thumb I can learn? Or does it all come down to map knowledge?

I also have a lot of trouble in that I get lost all the time. When walls get reinforced it almost feels claustrophobic on defence. I have no idea which rooms connect where and how, and I've had my team yell at me for running past the objective or stairs and stuff. Do I just get in custom games by myself and try to memorize the map lay-outs?

Stick with a buddy, take things slowly unless you're turning a corner, and remember that all of the action happens in the last 30 seconds.

Probably been posted a million times already but this is the one game we've played in years where comms and teamwork make the dream work.

And then one person makes a relatively minor mistake (or no mistake and an errant hockey puck magnetizes to a friendly's helmet two rooms away) and suddenly I'm telling my best internet buddies they should be placed into a maple leaf-emblazoned concentration camp.

Speaking of skill disparity above, I feel like this game has either new players, veteran-but-dumb players (majority), or players whose skill floor is the Armory in Hereford and they immediately burst out the windows and kill off half your team. I try picking ops to satisfy challenges but most of the time I'm happy to just use one of the unexciting-but-essential ops (Thatcher on offense, Rook or JAMMER on defense) now if it means a winning advantage. So long as I use Frost in the last winning defense round so the end screen is her goofy beachwear skin.

I feel like unmasking more of the female ops via DLC skins would incentivize more Clancy-bucks expenditures. Right now I'm sitting on north of 37,000 and I can't think of anything I want to blow it on.

That beachwear skin is the best headgear in the game.

Is Fuze's LMG pretty viable? I actually have yet to use it, choosing his AK or shield instead. I figured it would be inaccurate or heavy on recoil. But I have recently watched some killcams of Fuze destroying me with it, so should I switch?

The LMG is always worthwhile.

Anyone got tips on how to reliably reset people now? The last few times I tried, even when it's just a single shot from a pistol into their leg, they still just die outright. So I thought they must have just patched it out entirely, but I just saw Serenity is still doing it. What am I missing?

Issue has been acknowledged by Epi on reddit so they are working on it it seems.

I'm not talking officially but i wouldn't be surprised if they extend it / give it for free or something. Like they did for the France charm when '' Le 14 Juillet''' 's event took place.

Not that both events are on the same scale but more of the fact that challenges were off during an R6 event.

I hope for free. I've got a march break vacation lined up and not much time left to earn this thing.
